Illinois Workers Benefit From Blagojevich Minimum Wage Increase Legacy - 06/25/09

Some Illinois workers will be impacted by the legacy of former Governor Rod Blagojevich’s on July 1. Jesse Russell reports:

In 2006 former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich signed into law legislation that would increase the minimum wage a little bit every year until it reaches $8.25 in 2010. That next raise for Illinois minimum wage workers is coming on July 1. The increase will boost the hourly minimum wage for an estimated 400,000 workers by .25 to $8 per hour. The federal minimum wage is currently $6.55 per hour, but that will also see a jump to $7.25 per hour on July 24 of this year.
